Tip

If you're for a hassle-free YAML (de)serialization experience, we recommend using kaml, which is designed for simplicity and ease of integration.

Status

The library has been successfully ported to KMP, and is consumed by kaml, a library that integrates with kotlinx.serialization.

SnakeYAML Engine KMP uses comprehensive YAML test suites that validate correctness. Detailed performance testing wasn't conducted, however we have performance reports (see here) and mechanisms in place that should prevent performance regressions.
